The writer was very informed on IT. The resume written was formatted and written perfectly for me. My co-workers are also impressed by the resume. I would recommend this service to anyone in IT for sure.

I was torn on whether or not to have my resume professionally rewritten. I was an executive in the employment industry and felt like I could put together a good resume. I am glad I decided to give it a try. I was quickly assigned a great writer and within 2 days of my order had the first draft. 2 small revisions later and I had a great resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile, within a week and at a reasonable price. Very happy and would recommend!

This was the first time I used a service to write my resume, and I think it is worth it. The corporate world is more cut-throat now than ever before, and you need a resume that encompasses buzzwords, a visually appealing format, and the right verbiage. I now have all of this on my resume!

I really enjoyed working with TopResume, everything was delivered on time to what package I had purchased. During my first review I had questions as to why certain words were used in describing my skills, they weren't keywords so I was needing clarification since I'm not the expert here. They were very clear, concise, and in depth with answering my questions about words used, and making any changes I asked for. There truly is a discussion and conversation between you and your resume writer. I appreciate when companies deliver what they say they will.

My experience with TopResume was one that should be noted to everyone... I've been in my industry for +20 years and could not fathom someone writing my resume just by reading the resume I created and never meeting me, I was doubtful however, what an awesome experience and outcome! The resume they created fit my experience and personality perfectly. In addition, the cost was minimal in comparison of the professional resume you receive when TopResume is done!

WHAT A JOKE!
May 25, 2016

I have been trying to transition into a new career in HR. I had a good resume, but I was beginning to think it was not good enough. I submitted my resume for the free review TopResume offers. The review indicated my resume was ok but was written in a passive voice. I thought about it for a while and decided to make the investment in my future. I purchase the Executive package. The first writer that was assigned got to work on a fictional resume. When I explained to him that my resume needs to be a story of my experience. The writer explained he was just trying to save time instead of emailing back and forth. I was expecting to have communication in this process. The second attempt by the first writer included more fictional career experiences. So, I see why they guarantee you get an interview. I sent an email to Katie Warren requesting a new writer because I will not accept a resume that is an inaccurate representation of my skills and experience. This is supposed to be a marketing tool for ME. My request was granted. The new writer wasted no time in getting a first draft to me. When I read the draft provided by the new writer I was very disappointed, because the she submitted the same information the previous (fictional) writer had created. I immediately sent an email to the new writer resubmitting my documentation and resume and instruction about the need for an honest resume and to let her know I am here to provide any information she needs regarding my experience. The review period is ticking away and I have not had a response from the new writer. I have paid $219 for the advertised service, but so far have received works of fiction. I am not able to use the cover letter, resume or Linked In updates. It is obvious this company is more concerned about getting in the key search words and not producing a resume that markets your actual skills and experience.

Great Service
May 26, 2016

My father had recommended this service to me, to make my resume more appealing to prospective employers. I still was skeptical about if it would be worth it or not because other professionals have looked at and edited my resume in the past. I was pleasantly surprised though when I saw my new resume, it definitely looked more professional! The only negative thing I would say is that it took almost a week to get to my resume, I guess a lot of people are using the service. Other than that, I very much enjoyed the process and I would recommend it.

This took a little longer than expected, but the site gave me an option to wait as they had a writer that was more familiar with my experience or they would give me a different writer. I am thinking of using them for my Linked In profile as well

Overall, the end results were great. But I was expecting a polished resume when they sent me the first draft. Unfortunately it had some typos/mistakes. But ultimately I got a great product. And the extras were worth it since now I don't have to do them!

Good job TopResume
May 22, 2016

Like everything else, you need to be in control of your resume. After all, it is the summary of your accomplishments. The team at TopResume did a good job of updating my resume and using my input to create a solid finished product.
Thanks TopResume!
